3 Cape Town Convention J. 1 (2014)

handle is hein.journals/captowjo3 and id is 1 raw text is: Editorial Jeffrey Wool University of Washington - General Editor Rafal Zakrzewski University of Cambridge - Editor The mandate of the Cape Town Convention Journal (the Journal'), part of the Cape Town Convention Academic Project (the 'Project'), a joint undertaking between the University of Oxford Faculty of Law and the University of Washington School of Law, is to focus on in- depth, qualitative analysis of important, difficult or complex topics under the Convention and its various Protocols. This third issue, addressing such topics, will be posted on the Project's website (wwwctcap.org) which was launched this year. The press release regarding that ground-breaking launch is annexed to this editorial. Much has happened in the Cape Town Convention system over the last year, and the articles in this third issue address many of these developments. First, there has been material activity regarding the remedy of deregistration and export, which in practical terms signals the efficacy of the aircraft Protocol. Dean Gerber,Vedder Price, and David Walton, BOC Aviation, have written an article that examines the history, intent, and application of these key remedies. Secondly, the first instances of treaty compliance by contracting states have arisen. Professor Jeffrey Wool, the Universities of Washington and Oxford, provides a conceptual framework for understanding and assessing compliance issues. Thirdly, more European states havejoined the treaty system. That makes the relationship between certain EU laws and the treaty a pressing item. Alan McCarthy and Marie O'Brien, both ofA&L Goodbody, write on the key point of intersection. This issue continues the practice of addressing the core concepts in all Protocols and what the treaty can teach or mean in the broader context of transnational commercial law. In the former category, there are articles on the space protocol in light of the development of international space law, written by Professor Mark Sundahl, Cleveland State University, and on the relationship between the treaty's rail registry and national rail registry systems, written by Peter Bloch, US Department of Transportation, and Martin Fleetwood, Bevan Brittan. In the latter category, three leading law librarians, Ruth Bird, University of Oxford, and Professor Penny Hazelton and Kyle Brown, the University ofWashington, have written on the meaning and implications of the Project's database for international legal research and scholarship. They have done so by looking at the historical development of legal databases. As was the case in prior years, the papers and topics in the Journal were the subject of a conference held in Oxford under the auspices of the Project. The format of the conference is designed to facilitate intensive discussion and debate, with a presenter (the author of the paper) and one or more commentators. Carrying forward this feature to print, the concept of a short reply paper written by one of the commentators will be part of this Journal. Such papers will appear in the issue that succeeds the relevant conference. Accordingly this issue contains a reply by Professor Brian Havel, De Paul University, to an article written last year by Professor Jeffrey Wool and Andrej Cape Town Convention journal I November 2014
